A VIDEO has emerged on Facebook of a dad in his Police uniform pretending to pull over his own kids in their toy car and it's little surprise the internet has lapped it up .

The adorable video - filmed in two takes so both kids can have a shot of playing lawbreaker - shows doting dad Kenny Bowman clowning around with his little boy Blake and daughter Rylee in their Roanoke city driveway, Virginia USA.

Kenny approaches the two speedsters in their bright pink car dressed in full police uniform and asks to see their licenses, playfully calling them 'wise guys' when they give him backchat.

The pair then drive off after adorably shouting "floor it!" with their dad in hot pursuit.

Officer Bowman made a film of the encounter in April, writes Mirror Online .

He said he put the video together to show a lighter side to policing, and remind people that cops have families too.

The video, originally published to Facebook , was shared thousands of times this week after local news stations found the footage and started to air it.

The Dad of two told WDBJ : "I just came home from work one day in uniform, got out of the car, saw my kids were playing with their power wheel, I thought it would be cute to do a little video, just my friends on Facebook."
